For anyone that had the pleasure of knowing Bunnie, understood being on the receiving end of his stories. He loved meeting a new face and enjoyed the company of anyone who had an ear to listen. It was imperative to find a comfortable seat before having a “chat” with Bunnie. He proudly shared his stories that included his boats, skiing, cars, Webb Lake, Kents Hill, and his time in the Coast Guard.
He is survived by his sons Randy Allen with wife Sonna and Scott Allen with wife Shellie. Grandchildren Marissa Dyar with husband Jared Dyar, Jennell Allen, Danielle Ross, and Jackie Hayduk. Great grandchildren Jett and Jace Dyar. Sister Pam Nadeau. He is also survived by longtime companion and partner Claire Vining and her family.
The family would like to express our appreciation to the agencies and individuals who made it possible to care for Bunnie in his home; Androscoggin Home Health and Hospice, MAS Home Care, Complete Home Health Care, Dr. Deborah Hamilton, and we especially want to thank an outstanding caregiver, Priscilla Bubier.
